About New Bern
History of New Bern
Founded in 1710 by Swiss and German settlers, New Bern is North Carolina’s second-oldest town and served as the state’s capital from 1770 to 1792. Steeped in colonial charm, it earned the nickname "The Athens of the South" thanks to its thriving cultural scene and stunning architecture.
New Bern is also the proud birthplace of Pepsi-Cola—created in 1893 by local pharmacist Caleb Bradham. Today, visitors can step back in time at the original Pepsi Store downtown.
The city’s crown jewel is Tryon Palace, a grand reconstruction of the original royal governor’s mansion, offering immersive experiences in colonial life. Surrounding it are four nationally registered historic districts, showcasing 18th- and 19th-century homes, centuries-old churches, and beautifully preserved buildings that speak to New Bern’s storied past.
From cobblestone charm to coastal beauty, New Bern is a living museum that continues to inspire—with every brick, bottle, and building.
